As the user who originally complained, I would like to thank the team for all their hard work. My intention is to give user feedback and provide assistance if needed. Perhaps I am not the average user. I am a professional designer who got stung by the Linux bug several years ago and is now a slave to FOSS.
Regarding fonts, I have my own personal library of over 2500 typefaces collected over the past 20 years. I rarely if ever use the fonts included in Ubuntu Studio. That said, my ideal operating system would have only the most basic fonts installed out-of-the-box and allow me to manage what I need, when I need it. The ability to tweak a system or build one from the ground up is something that makes Linux attractive. I especially like Ubuntu Studio's installer which saves me a lot of time, choosing only the packages I want with each new install. The opposite is true of typefaces. You get all the packages, then are forced to remove useless ones. I have no idea what fonts are essential to Ubuntu Studio and which are not. If I could have this information, then perhaps I will simply write a tool that removes everything except the core fonts and you can close this bug. Thanks for taking the time to address my concern. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to The Ubuntu Studio Project.

We should minimize the fonts we distribute to an amount which is reasonable.
